 STRENGTH OF MATERIALS (BES 3)

SAMPLE PROBLEMS

A hollow steel tube with an inside diameter of 100 mm must carry a tensile load of 400 kN. Determine the outside
diameter of the tube if the stress is limited to 120 MN/m2.
 STRENGTH OF MATERIALS (BES 3)

A homogeneous 800 kg bar AB is supported at either end by a cable as shown in Fig. P-105. Calculate the smallest area
of each cable if the stress is not to exceed 90 MPa in bronze and 120 MPa in steel.

Sample Problems
What force is required to punch a 20-mm-diameter hole in a plate that is 25 mm thick? The shear strength is 350 MN/m2

Solve Problems
In Fig. 1-12, assume that a 20-mm-diameter rivet joins the plates that are each 110 mm wide. The allowable stresses are
120 MPa for bearing in the plate material and 60 MPa for shearing of rivet. Determine (a) the minimum thickness of
each plate; and (b) the largest average tensile stress in the plates.

8. The lap joint shown in Fig. P-126 is fastened by four ¾-in.-diameter rivets. Calculate the
maximum safe load P that can be applied if the shearing stress in the rivets is limited to 14 ksi
and the bearing stress in the plates is limited to 18 ksi. Assume the applied load is uniformly
distributed among the four rivets.
